Course is in great shape

Fairways were firm. Greens a touch slow, but they were well maintained and putts rolled true. Only complaint was the sand bottle for divots on both carts were empty and there wasn’t anywhere to refill..

Love the layout of this course

Course conditions are always at its best. Pace of play was about average, waited on a couple holes but overall was good.

Definitely recommend playing if you have the opportunity!

The course is in good shape! Greens rolled smooth and fast! Fairways in good shape! Rough is thick! No on course water to drink. No beverage cart!

Great course

Always in good shape. The layout is very interesting even if a little quirky at times. Watch out for the rough, especially on the back 9 where it's particularly thick. The staff is great. The amenities are not much to talk about but that's not that important to me.

Will return as often as I can.

Good layout. Fun but challenging for all skill levels. Not long, placement off the tee is key.

Rutgers

Rutgers golf course looks amazing! Played it years ago and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Tee boxes, fairways, and especially the greens were in phenomenal shape. Unexpectedly fast greens. Friendly staff, and good snack bar with food and drinks. And oh yea I got a hole in one on hole 3 and the staff was all super excited for me. A day I will never forget at Rutgers golf course. Thanks.
